Effect and Place of Cinema on Mass Psychology

Since 1888, cinema has managed to reach a very large audience. The success of cinema, which is an art branch that reflects all kinds of events on the screen, blended the subject under study with many different points of view, and also gave the opportunity to force the imagination to the masses by adapting the technological opportunities to the techniques is not a coincidence.
Man is an entity of emotions and thoughts. Each period creates its own cultural elements by blending with its past and societies develop by being affected by this. Therefore, the human emotion and thought universe is shaped by the returns of the period in which it is located. Certain inquiries underlie what we have given ourselves, what we have imagined and put into practice, or our efforts to talk to others. The information we can't reach leads us to a curiosity. Especially in such cases, there are many situations in which our learning urge predominates and we try to understand. Many ways have been produced throughout human history in order to fulfill this desire to know as much as possible, to feed our world of thought and most importantly to find meaning. The existence of art is an extremely important field of activity for human being to experience a spiritual satisfaction.
Considering all these reasons, it is quite normal for cinema to lead large audiences and to influence them both psychologically and in other ways. Man has followed this space by embracing this space that meets the need to see the universe in which he lives and thus to know it concretely and opens up new horizons.
In the cinema, which has a structure that touches the individual worlds as well as social, there is a realm of reality that everyone can find suitable for themselves. Cinema has succeeded in meeting with other fields of art on a common ground. Assoc. Dr. Necati Çevrir and Asst. Assoc. Dr. Seval Yakışan has a central role in the cultural life of the mass media, as stated in an article titled Değerlendirme An Evaluation on the Historical Development and Audience Profile of Cinema Sin. Because all these tools affect cinema. Again from the same article, it is possible to say that with the messages given by cinema, it can create a common view and guide cultural life in large masses. It also increases the number of viewers by addressing people of all ages.
In addition to spiritual pleasure, the cinema, which has made a place for itself in historical terms with the handling of events on a social scale, is also attracting intense interest in reflecting the values ​​of a nation, and it can attract the attention of all segments thanks to its different perspectives. In this sense, it appears as an area where subjectivity predominates and it provides many opportunities for discussion.
